Our Favorite Easter Eggs

Happy Easter to all our Christian TUAW readers! To help you celebrate, here's a list of some of our favorite OS X Easter eggs for you to discover and enjoy.

A "Python" audio clip. Navigate to the following folder: /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/test. Open the audiotest.au audio file you'll find there in QuickTime and play it back.

A hidden picture in Mail. In Finder, open your Applications folder. Select Mail, control-click (right-click) it and select Show Package Contents. Navigate down to Contents, and then Resources, and then open Senders.tiff by dragging it onto your Preview application icon.

Cool dates in history. In terminal, type open -e /usr/share/calendar/calendar.history

More after the jump.

An appeal to goodness. On an Intel Mac, navigate to /System/Library/Extensions and you'll find Don't Steal Mac OS X.kext. Open this up (right-click/control-click then Show Package Contents) and navigate down into Contents/Resources/English.lproj. Check out the message in InfoPlist.strings explaining why this kext file exists.
